Introduction
The Rhopoint IQ represents the perfect upgrade to classic Gloss-Meters
IQ GLOSS measurements are fully compatible with existing Novo-Gloss and Micro-Tri-gloss results.
Dualgloss 20/60° or Trigloss 20/60/85° versions for maximum accuracy and resolution in all applications that require gloss measurement.
The Rhopoint IQ measures image quality and profiles how light is reflected from a surface. Standard glossmeters only measure how much light is reflected and are not sensitive to effects which dramatically reduce appearance quality.
Advanced features – for FAST easy measurement
- Large colour screen for all values at a glance
- Onboard Statistics and Graphs

- Single button press to measure all parameters
- Fast measurement, <2 sec.
- Fast and simultaneous measurement of all parameters
- Fully automatic calibration with tile detection and verification
- USB or mains rechargeable in 4.5 or 2.5 hours
- 17hrs+ continuous operation or 20,000+ readings
- On board memory for 999+ readings with full
Best in class accuracy and traceability
- ISO 17025 UKAS calibration certificate
- Advanced standard verification system guarantees error free calibration.
